Chapter 167: The Zhang Family

That night, Gong Qianbai spent the middle of the night writing an excerpt, detailing the important role of land in stabilizing the situation in the world, ensuring the tax revenue of the imperial court, and reducing the risk of rebellion by the clans. With Yidu Road as an example, he cited the tangible benefits of land in the hands of the state.

At present, the average land rent of the people in the world is about eighty and a half, and even in the areas with the least land rent, it is more than seventy percent. But in fact, the tax collected by the imperial court only accounts for 30%, that is to say, 4~5% is taken by the landlord.

If the land is in the hands of the imperial court, even if it only collects seventy percent of the tax, the annual tax revenue of the imperial court can at least double. At the same time, there will be no big family in Yidu Road, and no matter who wants to rebel in the future, they will not be able to get food, so naturally it will not be possible.

Then he once again emphasized that food is the lifeline of a country, and whoever controls food will control the lives of the people and the world.

In the history of the Central Plains, all the successful rebellions were either from the big families or the poor people got food from the big families, so they could succeed.

Then he analyzed in detail the essence of the rich family's indulgence and dislike of hard work, which actually did not help the country's development and long-term peace and stability; In addition, the rich monopolized knowledge and slowed down the overall development of the country, especially the officials at all levels of the imperial court were monopolized by the rich households.

Then, he told in detail how he was bullied by officials at all levels in Yidu Road, Yidu Road is nominally a descendant of Temujin, but in fact it has been controlled by officials and wealthy households at all levels, they evade taxes and collude with each other, resulting in Yidu Road not even being able to complete the tax, and he dares to risk the world's disapproval is willing to be the pioneer of the change of the times......

He also told the assassination of Cangzhou in detail, explained the evidence of the collusion of the officials of Cangzhou with the assassins one by one, and then speculated how huge the energy and threat of the collusion between the officials and the rich families below were, their reverence for the descendants of Temujin is far less than it was decades ago, and now even the Mongol prince can be killed, and the next step is to rebel!

……

In short, the central idea is that everything he does is to solve the problem of taxation and rebellion, and he is willing to be a pioneer for this.

This is in the interests of the royal family, and Tutimur has no reason to oppose it, unless it is the ministers below who oppose it, then it depends on whether the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.

But in any case, everything he did was legal, including the two things of going to the ownerless land without income and killing the governor of Cangzhou; And Yidu Road was ransacked by the Fire Lotus Sect, and he also destroyed the Fire Lotus Sect, so he was considered useless. Don't you see that Lingnan, Nanzhong and Sichuan have fallen and hundreds of thousands of people have not returned?

After thinking about every detail again, and putting the folds away, Gong Qianbai fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Gong Qianbai and his party packed up and got on the horse. first pretended to go to Daru Huachi Mansion, and was very angry when he saw the tragic situation in the house, and then quickly went to Dadu to redress his grievances.

After the more than 20 people were uniformed, they were indeed much stronger, much like a prince's pro-army attendant.

At noon, everyone ate some dry food on the spot, and after only half an hour's rest, they set off again. At this time, spring is strong, and it is afternoon, and it has been bumpy on the horse for a morning, and Kang Xiaojian, Li Hu, Li Wei, Xiaocai and others, who have low cultivation, will inevitably be drowsy.

……

Zhangjia, Hebei.

Although the Mongols had a fourth-class system, there were still some Han Chinese who could try their best to obtain some privileges and thus prevent themselves from becoming fourth-class people. 1234 .1234xs.

For example, to become a slave of the Mongols; For example, the dog that became a Mongol in turn dealt with the Han Chinese......

Such Han people, even if they do not reach the first class, will be given the second class, which is much higher than the status of ordinary Han people, and it becomes easy to accumulate wealth and become a big family.

For example, the Zhang family, four generations of allegiance to the Mongols, this generation of the head of the family even hugged Yan Timur's big thick legs, whether it is officialdom or shopping malls, it can be said that it is like a fish in water, wind and water.

Now, Zhang Zhilu, the head of Yidu Road, is in the room of the head of the Zhang family, reporting Gong Qianbai's traces with an excited face.

"Just now, the flying pigeon in Cangzhou passed the book: Tara only brought more than 20 people all the way to Dadu, we are the only way for him here, if he lets go of this opportunity, it will not be so easy to kill him again!"

Zhang Youdao's eyes were staring closely at the window, looking at the little yellow flag on the tree in the courtyard, and slowly spit out a sentence:

"What did the fourth prince say?"

Zhang Zhilu said excitedly: "The fourth prince said that he has arranged another group of people and will fully cooperate with us!" Even if our side fails, he will do it directly! The head of the family, it is really a good opportunity on Yidu Road, now it can be said that the dragons have no leader, and even the rich families of the big families have all suffered, it is simply an opportunity given to us by God! ”

Zhang Youdao glanced at him, and still asked quietly: "What is the origin of the newly rising general on Yidu Road?" Have you checked it out? ”

Hearing Zhang Youdao ask this question, the excitement on Zhang Zhilu's face immediately receded, and he replied ashamedly: "The nephew who stayed on Yidu Road has no way to get close to the barracks, although the 100,000 people are newly recruited, but they are like iron buckets, I am afraid that they are no less than the cowardly Xue Jun......"

"It's too risky! You can't act recklessly on the side of the hall master alone! ”

Zhang Youdao's face was full of waves, and he continued to say to Zhang Zhilu: "And this is our territory, isn't it telling others that we are the murderer?" ”

"The head of the house is right! But Tara has no relatives and no reason......"

"That's not right!" Zhang Youdao interrupted him, "There must be a master behind him!" With only one child, he can't do those things in Yidu Road. And when they were in Cangzhou, Tara and they were all drugged, so who killed those assassins and the people from the Canglan Inn? You don't really think it's their own people killing each other, do you? ”

"This ......"

Zhang Zhilu had nothing to say, he had to admit that what the head of the family said was very reasonable, it was indeed he who neglected these things, or he was really carried away by anger.

"We can't do it! We've got a bunch of people outside the city, so you can pick 100 of them to ambush where you want, and try to use traps instead of fighting head-on! ”

Zhang Youdao hesitated again: "Go and ask your fifth grandfather to go out in person, he is more experienced in this kind of thing, and the success rate is greater!" ”

"Nephew understands! Nephew go get ready right away! ”
